sloth is sadness
no it isn't
it is laziness hence why sloths are called sloths as they are lethargic creatures
its both http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_deadly_sins#Sloth_.28Latin.2C_acedia.29 "More than other sins, the definition of sloth has changed considerably since its original inclusion among the seven deadly sins. In fact it was first called the sin of sadness or despair. It had been in the early years of Christianity characterized by what modern writers would now describe as melancholy: apathy, depression, and joylessness — the last being viewed as being a refusal to enjoy the goodness of God and the world God created."

I go off of the actual definition of sloth
sadness itself was included in the original list beforethe pope excluded it and replaced vainglory with envy

The seven deadly sins aren't actually articulated very accurately in many cases. Some of the seven deadly sins are, by definition, subject to personal opinion. Such as lust- to have a yearning or desire; have a strong or excessive craving.- this could be for something natural such as needed food when you are hungry. Lust (or lechery) is an inordinate craving for coitus often to the point of assuming a self-indulgent and sometimes violent character. Lust, or an immoderate desire for the flesh of another (outside of matrimony), is considered a sin, or impure act, in all of the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism). But for example the little part of the definition, "outside of matrimony", is only implied, never actually mentioned. Does this mean that the craving for your wife's coitus is a sin? That is normally called consummation, which implies an essence of beauty. Also the word used in the definition, (inordinate)- not within proper or reasonable limits; immoderate; excessive:- this reasonable limit is determined by whom? That would be the personal opinion of the subject at hand.
